history, profound religious beliefs and practices, and the cultural diversity of hill tribe communities: each country offers a unique cultural experience unto itself. \u00a0 With modern challenges meeting social needs, the collision of urban expansion and industrialization with indigenous land rights and equal access to resources, this region is perfect for a deep dive into history, human rights, and sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This 10-week program travels from the Thai temples and old walled city of Chiang Mai to the Cambodian UNESCO world-heritage center of Angkor Wat; from the mountainous jungles of northern Thailand to the clear ocean waters of the country\u2019s famed southern islands.\u00a0 This region is rich with the warmth and hospitality of its peoples, but also complex with history and present day challenges affecting those same people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will explore not only the challenges posed by development in this region, but the many solutions (lived and potential), paying special attention to this area's rich history and traditions that have and will continue to guide the way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This program is designed for change-makers who want to proactively engage in solutions for climate, social justice and human rights.\u00a0 Retreats and reflections are interspersed throughout the semester to allow you to focus on looking inwardly, so that you take action outwardly.\u00a0 \u00a0
